I think it's pretty much it!

Walking to the cupboard, I glanced at the quilt that was resting on top of the tsundere boy.

Although the eldest lady found a heavy new quilt for us, she didn't take the quilt away.

There are a lot of people staying in their house because of the temporary accommodation that comes and goes, and this quilt is unbearable in the eyes of people who love cleanliness!

If I go to sleep in the kitchen, do I want to take it with me?

I stared, and there was a moment of hesitation.

His mind flowed, and his thoughts flashed back to the conversation he had heard earlier between the young man and the eldest mother, and the terrain of this area he asked about seemed a little strange.

As I pondered, I picked up the book on my desk and carried it with me for the time being.

From Nanhua Town to the mountain village, how many places have been passed along the way.

On several occasions I stopped to identify the herbs recorded in the booklet.

The trail is not easy to walk, and it is inevitable that you will feel tired after walking for several hours in a row.

At the moment, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, anyway, the tsundere boy is already asleep, and he definitely won't notice my movement like he did just now, and suddenly run out to stop me.

If he doesn't stop me, I can change places smoothly, and I miss the warm carbon fire in the kitchen.

In the end, I didn't take the quilt he had left on top of the cupboard.

The only thing he had to do was to take away the booklet that he had intercepted along the way.

Out of the door of the side house, the night was dark, and the mountain wind outside suddenly mixed with raindrops.

Looking at it, the silent mountain forest couldn't help but shrink and shudder. Before I could take a step, all of a sudden, the familiar feeling came back to me.

Move faster than your brain! I've already practiced it!

I hurriedly stepped back and slammed the door of the side room shut. Leaning against the door, he sat still and listened.

At this moment, it is past the ugly hour, and the rain outside has no intention of stopping, and the path between the mountains and forests is the most difficult time to walk.

However, in the corner of the mountain people's house, I already felt an unusual atmosphere.

I know that maybe it's because I've been through it so many times in the past, and this one was no exception.

Wait for me to adjust my emotions. Listening to the sound of rain outside, the mountain wind was blocked outside the door, and it didn't take long. My brow furrowed.

Something was wrong, and I subconsciously turned my head to look at the tsundere boy lying there asleep.

He was wearing a plain undershirt, which he had taken off and rested on a stool beside him.

He rolled over in his sleep, seemingly uneasy.

The next moment. I don't hesitate anymore. Squatting down and leaning down, he quickly brought his ears to the ground.

I didn't feel wrong, and I felt a shudder at that moment!

As far as I can tell, there is a group of people slowly approaching the direction of the eldest lady's house.

In other words, they were rushing up the hill to the village where the mountain people lived.

The location of the eldest lady's house is a necessary place to go to the village. The side path is also the road leading to the summit.

My ears were close to the ground, and I could clearly hear the sound in the distance.

Less. I immediately got up and went to the bed, and without the slightest hesitation, reached out and pushed the boy awake.

The guy was woken up from his slumber, and he was still looking at me with a drowsy expression.

"Big young master, there is a situation!" I muttered, "It looks like someone is approaching the village. ”

"Xiaoling, it's a big night, you're dreaming and sleeping!"

The boy was awake for a few seconds and looked at me with the corners of his mouth moving, and then his eyes swept over me, and he was stunned to see that I was neatly dressed.

I'm very close to him right now.

Close enough that I can see the disguise on that guy's face from a short distance, and the heart is quite clever, what is the true appearance of that person?!

I gave him a subtle look.

Next, I was distracted, my eyes were on him, and when I looked into his eyes, I felt familiar again.

I frowned, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to ask him!

After a few seconds, in a delicate atmosphere, I turned my head away from him and whispered, "I didn't lie to you, young master." "I've been reading the booklet that you snatched, the one left by Dr. Wu, I haven't slept at all, I just stood up because I heard something strange outside."

I said in a calm tone, in fact, I was already very panicked at that time.

I don't know the origin of those people who came from afar, but do I think that when they came to the mountain village in the middle of the night, they were really just passing by people who were going to stay?

Impossible!

No other mountain dweller can accommodate so many people for temporary stays.

There was a faint sense of danger in the air, and I believe the teenager had felt my nervousness.

Sure enough, he stopped dwelling, got up, quickly got out of bed, put on his robe, and did the same thing as me.

Squat down, lean down, keep your ears close to the ground, and listen intently to the movement outside, the sound that is gradually approaching in the distance.

At this time, the rain intensified, and it became more difficult to identify, and the advantage was that the other party was closer to the location.

The tsundere boy is an expert, of course he can tell it!

After a while, he stood up and responded to me in a very calm tone: "Xiaoling, you did hear it right. “

I raised an eyebrow at him, my eyes meeting again.

The boy looked at me and said, "Someone is indeed coming, coming in the direction of the village." ”

"How many?" I asked him in a tentative tone, "I just heard about seven or eight, no less than this number." ”

The corners of the young man's mouth twitched slightly, and he said lightly to my gaze in a casual tone: "That's right, I have the same opinion as you, Xiaoling." ”

"You have listened carefully, I heard the sound of horses' hooves just now," I further confirmed, "but you also know that the road up the mountain is so steep that they cannot ride the whole party into the village and walk this way down the mountain road. ”

Not only is the mountain road in this area steep, but the road up the mountain is very narrow!

I've just walked through the tsundere boy. Both of them knew it in their hearts.

I glanced at him, and then I asked him, "Young Master, what do you say?" If the other party is not good. How are the two of us going to deal with it? ”

I stared at him with wide eyes, meaning that you didn't even bring the guards out of the house, just the two of us, the other party is seven or eight people!

What are the odds?!

"Xiaoling, you're too nervous, in my opinion, you don't necessarily need to make a move."

The boy stared at me. "How so?" I asked. "Do you need to talk about it?" The tsundere boy paused. He continued to me, "Xiaoling, this is just a village deep in the mountains. It's not a rich place, if the other party has an intention, why choose such a place! ”

The tsundere boy thought about it and said in a calm and authentic tone. His gaze was still on my face. There is a moment of trance.

What he said seemed to make sense, I pondered for a while, and then asked, "Young Master, do we need to avoid it?" Immediately go and inform the aunt and uncle? ”

"No, wait and see, don't worry!" He comforted me.

"Xiaoling, I can protect your safety."

"Who's worried about this," I said to myself, with no chance of winning. Just go straight to the mountains and forests to hide, although there are many of them. It's raining, and the terrain is complicated.

The chances of running away are still very high!

"I just think that in case of danger, there is no need for a head-on conflict, let's avoid it, and it will save trouble!"

"Hey, eldest young master, you don't have any enemies nearby, right?"

I pursed my lips and asked him with a serious expression: "Out of Suzhou, no one will chase you along the way, right?" ”

I asked twice, and the tsundere boy lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth raised, "No." ”

"That's good, I believe you for the time being, even if they come to the village, they may not come to find the uncle and aunt, maybe they are just passing by, or"

I paused and pondered, thinking about all the possibilities, but I still didn't feel at ease.

Everyone has some apprehension about the unknown possible dangers, doesn't they?!

The boy took a step closer, as if to reach out and touch my head, and after thinking about it, he withdrew his hand quite awkwardly.

"Xiaoling, we can discuss it, if someone comes over later, will you deal with it or will I go? How to tell them. ”

The young man looked at me with an inquiring tone, and there was a hint of certainty in his words, as if he expected that he would not move.

I said almost without thinking: "I'm going to go, young master, your identity is more sensitive, unlike me who is just a common man, or a stranger passing by." ”

"Your Yuwen family should be quite powerful, I'm afraid that if there is a holiday with you."

After thinking about it, I said to him seriously: "Although you didn't chase anyone when you said Suzhou, I'm worried that they followed secretly, but you just haven't found out yet." ”

Hearing this, the young man immediately raised his head and looked at me unhappily and said, "Xiaoling, do you mean that the master is so slow that he doesn't feel it when he follows the person who is chasing and killing!" "Do you think you are so bad?" His deep eyes fell on my face as coldly as knives, and his tone was gritted with teeth.

"What are you arguing with me?!" "Hey, young master, I'm just assuming, I really don't know the hearts of good people," I said sullenly, "If you like it, you can deal with it in a while, as if I want to rob you." "If they knock on the door, remember to reply in time!"

I glared at him and replied in a stiff tone.

"No, you and I are not the owners of this house, come and knock on the door, naturally the master will deal with it first, it's none of our business."

The young man restrained his anger a little and said calmly.

Hearing this, I thought for a while before saying, "Even if it's the same as what you said, do you understand the variables?" "Shouldn't we be prepared for both? I mean, just in case, if you don't understand! ”

"No in case."

"Stop, I don't want to quarrel with you again, they haven't come yet, what's the point of arguing here, maybe I'll have to do it later, save some effort."

With that, I immediately walked to the door, opened it a crack again, and looked out.

I could hear the footsteps of those people come closer, and in a few moments we should be halfway up the mountain.

Who let the eldest mother's family live in a low position!

If the hunter who came to inquire before lived in a house near the top of the mountain, then the person who came would not have come directly.

When you reach the top of the mountain, even if there is a mutation, there is enough time to escape.

"Xiaoling, don't probe your brain, close the door." The boy whispered behind me.

I turned my head to look at him and asked with some concern, "Are you sure you don't have to go and talk to the aunt directly?" ”

"No, you and I are not from the village, I don't know what they are doing here, maybe they have encountered this kind of thing before."

"Hey, did you think it could be that the caravan people arrived here?" I lowered my head and thought for a moment, then continued, "Is this possible?" ”

There was a hint of confusion in my heart: "However, I just think that it is really the people of the caravan, why don't they leave their horses in the forest below the mountain, and leave a few people to guard them, and they all need to go up the mountain?" "Do you think there must be?"

"It's unlikely that the caravan," the tsundere boy said after thinking about it, "I guess maybe the other party is looking for the wrong shortcut, and the most likely thing is that they should also be in a hurry." ”

I nodded, didn't answer, he had a point.

The terrain in this area is complicated, and it may be that you really took the wrong path, and it is not necessary to think that there will be a shortcut to the mountain.

I spoke to him for a while, but I calmed down, and the two of us went to the low table and sat down, waiting

Sitting at the low table, I raised my head and glanced at the tsundere boy and said, "Sitting like this, as if you are preparing to play chess, you are missing a chessboard." “

He shook his head and said in a soothing tone: "Xiaoling, even if you give you chess pieces, you are not in the mood." "The people out there aren't sure who they are, and they don't know what they mean." "Why didn't you sleep before?" The boy looked at me strangely and asked, "I've given you all the booklets, is it necessary to read them again overnight?" "You don't understand, I'm going to leave here tomorrow morning, my aunt took me in for one night, I always want to do more."

I didn't explain the deeper reason to him, he didn't need to know, I just used my aunt's illness as a shield!

It's finally here!

I heard the sound outside, and for a moment I glanced at the boy.

I stiffened, then quickly got up and leaned against the window to listen to the movement outside the courtyard.

I opened the window with a very small gap and looked through the crack to see what was going on outside.

The cold wind blew in, I squinted my eyes, the boy didn't come, but still sat patiently at the low table and waited.

Through the rain curtain, it didn't take long for me to see the uncle holding an umbrella slowly walking to the courtyard gate.

A team of centaurs was waiting there.

As mentioned earlier, the mountain roads are extremely narrow, so they are lined up in front of and behind.

The space at the entrance of the courtyard was too small to accommodate this team.

In the night, I couldn't see the faces of those people, they were still wearing rain gear!

Behind me, the young man sitting at the low table just raised his head, looked in the direction I was, and turned around when he met me, and the two of them faced each other.

He gestured, and I immediately understood, and responded with a gesture.

The conversation hadn't started yet, and I didn't know where the gang came from. (To be continued.) )
